Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode 77: Women at the Gaming Table.

       Saul and Jolene discuss Women at the Gaming Table.  Here Saul relates how growing up there were no girls or women at his gaming table.  Even when Saul went to his first gaming convention women were very few.  It was not until the 1995 that he was in a gaming group that had not one but two women.   

    Jolene starting gaming because of her younger brother.  But then they moved to a new town of Chico California and the guys that her brother started playing with were a bit "intimidated" by Jolene's presence.  Still Jolene has been attending game conventions since 2000 and describes her experience going to local conventions.

     Even with more women at conventions and playing games, too many times we read and hear stories about women having bad experiences at gaming tables.  Saul and Jolene talk about why this might happen and how they feel things will change for women and all people who start playing rpg games.
